This property is not worthy of a 5-star designation. The rooms are small, and sparsely furnished.

The hotel is located at the heart of the settlement, with most rooms facing the Kodai lake. The close proximity to the lake and the surrounding market makes this a prime tourist spot. The rooms are standard-grade 5-star offerings. The cottages are the highlight. Although just marginally expensive than the premium rooms, they come with three rooms, plus a bathroom, and a garden. The bathrooms have a bathtub which is the cherry on the top, and quite rare in the region. The food offers plenty of variety, with the buffet consisting of over a dozen options. In terms of added facilities, have indoor games like air hockey, TT, tennis, as well as spa services. The lush green gardens are a highlight, with swings, see-saws, and other contraptions for both children and adults.

Great location, ambience, food and facilities. Service especially in restaurant and room service can be improved. Need to improve accessibility of lower floors. As a family with small kid and stroller it was hard to move up/down the hotel.

We went to Kodi just to relax. No plans to see places as most of the time famous places are either overcrowded and/or not properly managed. Most of the time we were at the hotel relaxing or enjoying hotel facilities. We enjoyed our time. 3rd day we went to see nearby falls but there was no rain so no water. Nobody bothered to tell this to us. So half way we cancelled our sightseeing and went back to hotel.

Hotel was neat and peaceful. I really liked it except the manner and attitude of people who are working there.
Reception → Please inform us, if check in process takes more time. how long it will take and why. then we do not waste our time much.
And when we check out, please communicate with us other than the payment. [For eg: Feedback of hotel etc..]provide basic manner at least, please.
Restaurant manager and workers
→ Please reset the people who are serving there. work division is not proper. makes more noise than the visitors. [make vessel sound, roaming] Even music selection was fast. I have doubt about there as market. Please improve services according to hotel's level.

Stayed at the Carlton for 4 nights and was lucky to enjoy good weather for 2 days. Room was very comfortable, only room for improvement is the sound-proofing. Food and service from very attentive staff was excellent. Enjoyed a cocktail in the ambient bar and a cycle round the lake. The complimentary tour and paddle boat ride were appreciated.

We stayed at this hotel for 3 days - the first day, it was foggy and dark, and it was like something out of a mystery novel. When we arrived, they had 3 boxes awaiting us in the room - like turn down chocolates, but one box was filled with chocolates, another with cookies, and the third with cake! We were also offered a welcome drink - what a way to start the hotel stay! The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, the food was amazing, and the hotel was great at suggesting and organizing various activities (boating, a bus tour of the city, etc). The hotel is close to the gardens and overlooks the lake, so there are many things to do to which one can walk. The rooms were spacious and clean, and all had great views. I would definitely stay at the Carlton again, and would advise anyone going to Kodaikanal to stay at this hotel.

Fabulous views of the lake and great service - would definetly recommend this hotel!
